Register for a Compass Card

To get a Compass Card, you need to register your details on the disability register for Brighton and Hove or West Sussex. The disability register in Brighton and Hove is called ‘Compass Brighton and Hove’ and the disability register in West Sussex is called ‘Compass West Sussex’. You can find out more about what the information is used for here.

You’ll need to fill in a Compass Registration Form. If you’re 16 or over, you can apply for a Compass Card yourself, or you can ask a parent or carer to fill in the form for you. If you’re under 16, your parent or carer will need to fill in the form. At the moment you can’t fill in the form online, so you’ll need to print it off and fill it in by hand.

If you’re renewing your Compass Card

Compass records need to be fully updated every two years, after which a new Compass Card will be issued if your child or young person is still eligible. A few weeks before your old card is due to expire, the Compass Team will send you a letter reminding you to re-register, along with a new registration form and a reply paid envelope.

If you’ve lost your Compass Card

If your Compass Card is lost, email compass@amazesussex.org.uk or leave a message on 0300 123 9186 and we’ll call you back.

Are two cards are better than one?

If you live in West Sussex and the 0 to 25 year old you’re getting a card for goes to school in Brighton and Hove, or if you live in Brighton and Hove and the 0 to 25 year old goes to school in West Sussex, you could apply for two Compass Cards. Find out here why that might make sense.
